From the same dev: “it’s also that I cannot see management being concerned solving the information visibility that keeps slowing us down.
We’re rolling out AI coding tools for devs but no one thinks about the org silos that slow us down 10x more than any coding use case.”

Onlangs sprak ik weer een droeve ambtenaar die van alles zag verhuizen naar AI op Amerikaanse clouds. En daar kan je helemaal kapot aan gaan, want in je eentje hou je het niet tegen. Hier een hart onder de riem: het ligt niet aan jou, er gebeuren inderdaad absurde dingen: berthub.eu/articles/pos...
Ga niet kapot aan je eigen overheid - Bert Hubert
Onze overheid heeft regels opgesteld voor hun gebruik van de cloud, AI en andere algoritmes. En ze houden zich er bijna nooit aan.
Dit wordt keer op keer vastgesteld, zoals door de Algemene Rekenkamer...

Many EU member states are arguing for forcing WhatsApp to inspect all our photos w/AI. If the AI is in any “doubt” if it might be child pornography, your photo, location & other details get reported to Europol and a local police force. This is a terrible plan: berthub.eu/articles/pos... #chatcontrol

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

Congrats to @desisurvey.bsky.social - it's looking more & more like dark energy isn't Einstein's cosmological constant! If you've woken up to the news & are searching for the publications, they don't appear to be on arxiv 🤷♀️ but they are online. 🔭 #cosmology 🧪

FIG. 12. Comparison of the constraints on the equation of
state of dark energy using the CPL parametrization and a bin-
ning reconstruction approach, using DESI+CMB+DESY5.
The solid green line shows the best-fit w(z) based on w0 and
wa inference and the green contours around it represent the
68% and 95% confidence intervals. We also show in blue the
constraints from the binning approach [47], with the hori-
zontal bars indicating the bin width (which is fixed) and the
vertical bars representing the 1σ error. Additionally, we in-
clude in gray the 1D posterior for each binning parameter.
The ΛCDM limit corresponds to the horizontal gray dashed

The skies above Paranal are at risk from a proposed industrial megaproject.
This would be located in the vicinity of ESO's Observatory. If constructed, it would irreparably impact astronomical observations.

World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject
On December 24th, AES Andes, a subsidiary of the US power company AES Corporation, submitted a project for a massive industrial complex for environmental impact assessment. This complex threatens the pristine skies above ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, the darkest and clearest of any astronomical observatory in the world [1]. The industrial megaproject is planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometres from telescopes at Paranal, which would cause irreparable damage to astronomical observations, in particular due to light pollution emitted throughout the project’s operational life. Relocating the complex would save one of Earth's last truly pristine dark skies.

I was very busy Christmas Day in 1968 in Mission Control doing trajectory work for the Trans Earth Injection maneuver. The whole 20 hour period when #Apollo8 was in lunar orbit was particularly exhausting.
